MrLNER--DAY.

Relatives and friends to the number
of forty assembled at the residence OF
Hon. r. NJ. Day, of Mt. Hope, on July
9Th, to witness the marriage of his
daughter.
The ceremony, of which Miss Jennie
Day was the happy bride and MIR. Gus
Miner, of Little Grant the bridegroom,
was performed by Rev. Mr.. Smith, of
Bloomington Congregational church.
At the appointed time the bride and
groom took their places in
the midst of group of near relatives,
while the ceremony was being per-
formed.
The bride looked her prettiest in a
light fawn colored serge with plaided
velvet and handsome corsage bouquet.
The groom was dressed in the usual
conventional suit of black.
Sincere congratulations followed after
which the company was ushered into
the dining room by Hon. L. l. Kidd
where an abundant feast was spread.
About four o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Mil
ner started, after many good wishes
and the throwing of omens of good luck
after the carriage, for Bridgeport to
take the train for Charles City, Iowa,
where they will visit his uncle for few
days after which they will go to their
future home in Chetopa, Kansas.
The bride is the oldest daughter OF
Hon. X. M. Day, our Assemblyman a,
present from the third district, one OF
the best known and most highly re-
spected men of this district.
Mrs. Miner is young and intelligent
and possesses all the graces that make
her many friends. Those who have
known her from childhood can say thai
she was very resolute. always kind and
CONSCIENTIOUS, and absolutely free from
the deceits and jealousies that so often
characterize school girls.
Besides these she has a knowledge
of domestic affairs and especially the
culinary department, in which Mrs.
Day is so thorough.
Two years ago she received a frs
grade certificate. Since then she has
taught in the Mt. Hope school. The
first year as primary teacher and the
second us assistant in the High school.
This spring besides doing her school
work she took the examinations out OF
school and completing the course grad
uated from the school with honors, in
the class of 'S7.
Mr.. Miner is almost stranger to US
in this village but our short acquaint-
ance with him proves him a gentleman,
but knowing the bride 80 we'll we fee
confident that her judgement. as to his
merits, is all that is necessary to make
him true and faithful husband.
He and his brother are engaged at
present in the hardware business
in Chetopa, Kansas, and there the hap
DIV home will be founded. The folowl.
ing are the presents received from the
friends that were present.
